I'm afraid our country is headed for a bloody conflict though, between the two opposing sides.
RW's cartoon is funny... but really, it is truth, and it will be a blood bath should it ever come down to this.
Here in the state I live in, any person who has served in the military can carry concealed just by taking their DD214 down to the local Sheriff's office, and they are given a permit to carry. I can carry a gun anywhere I want, (except where signs say prohibited) as long as the gun is NOT concealed.
You go to Walmart here... and there are hot packs everywhere. Everyone we know here packs heat most anywhere they go.
It will be a blood bath here too should the government try to come to this state to try and take people's guns.
Our local sheriff has already spoken out and said he will not follow the federal government's mandates about gun control.

Short rundown of the video content:
A young war veteran makes a statement to the council members at the meeting and includes that he has a concealed carry permit. One of the councilman asks him if he's currently carrying a weapon, and the Mayor interrupts and asks the city attorney if they need to even ask that question. He reminds the councilman that they are there to take questions from the community--not to question the community members. The young man, however, says he doesn't mind answering and confirms that he is carrying a weapon at the moment.
The councilman then makes a motion that guns must be checked at the door of the council chamber and asks for a second (which he gets). The Mayor puts it to a vote and the majority vote against the motion, so the councilman gets up and leaves the chamber. The mayor then apologizes to the young man--not only for the harassment about his weapon, but also that he was not allowed to wear his hat in the chamber, by reason of imposition by the same councilman. He also turns back to the city attorney and asks if such a motion were passed if it would be legally enforceable; the answer is no.
The mayor comments that he feels safer because of the young veteran's presence and that if there's going to be a threat against anyone's life, it won't be from the "likes of you."
